The Queensland Jewish Board of Deputies Inc. (QJBD) is the official roof-body of all Queensland Jewry.

The
QJBD is recognised by the Queensland State Government and its agencies,
the media and other ethnic and religious groups as the representative
body of the Jewish community. It speaks on the community’s behalf on
all matters affecting the status, welfare and interest of Queensland
Jewry.

Its objectives are:

To provide a united and responsible Jewish voice that is heard by all levels of government – Local, State and Federal.

To provide an effective means of combating anti-Semitism.

To provide friendly forums that allow difficulties and problems to be discussed and resolved.

To organise communal ceremonies such as functions for visiting dignitaries.

To provide speakers on Jewish topics to service clubs, schools and Church groups.

To promote
knowledge and understanding of the Jewish people and Judaism and
working towards inter-community harmony and goodwill with other
religious, ethnic and cultural groups.

The
QJBD is part of the Executive Council of Australian Jewry (ECAJ),
which represents all Australian Jews in its dealings on a national
level.
